This is almost all true, but KDE is worthy because it proves that Qt and its "parts" are up to the task of hosting an environment - it also manages to exist in Windows with its threads and in X. Think of Qt as the PM level X interface for the port.

You don't need to port the code, you need to port the functionality.

What about the GNUStep environment? I know nothing. Would that be a hospitable place for WPS?

New GNUStep? Maybe
[link|http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/manual_6.html|http://www.gnustep.o...ion/manual_6.html] could be the basis for the inter-process object APIs needed for such a thing.

                 PM's not the problem. At least not the biggest problem. - (Another Scott) - Dec. 5, 2002, 04:55:53 PM EST

It's like reading nadsat, only without the clarity.
